Crown will perform on national television Christmas Day
Joining Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and all the gang, the 2013 Drum Corps International World Champion Carolina Crown will be seen on national television next Wednesday as part of the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.
Taking place at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando, the annual event is taped more than two weeks in advance of its Christmas broadcast. Carolina Crown sent a contingent of 120 members made up of current and alumni members of the corps to participate in the performance on Saturday, 7th December.
Executive Director Jim Coates says that he was contacted by Disney not long after Carolina Crown won its very first DCI World Championship title this past August in Indianapolis to gauge the organization’s interest in assembling the corps for the holiday parade.
"After many conference calls with the team at Disney we decided to work with them in creating a performance that’s a little bit different than your typical band marching down Main Street," Coates said. “We created drill and music to play in front of Cinderella’s Castle before forming into a parade block to highlight the 30th anniversary of the parade.” (Source: dci.org)
